The worst covers ever!

[raoulduke87]

Alright, for as many decent covers of Neutral Milk Hotel songs as there are, there are at least 50 bad covers. Just look them up on YouTube. It's astonishing. I propose that we make a list of some of the worst combinations possible. Use your imagination and think of people who'd have no business covering NMH and then come up with what you'd never want to hear them cover. If you'd like to get descriptive, you can explain you entry. This was all spurred on by seeing that godawful Dresden Dolls cover of Two-Headed Boy. Ewwww....

My choice: David Hasselhoff-Song Against Sex

0r Lionel Richie-Gardenhead

you missed the point.

[raoulduke87]

Stormx, I forgot to mention that your post was funny as hell.

[SlowCoreSadness]

I don't know about worst, but GWAR covering Two-Headed Boy would be AWESOME.

You.

How about The Village People covering "April 8th"?

[tackledspoon]

I know that they're not supposed to be real, but some guy did a reggae cover of King of Carrot Flowers Pt. I at an open mic night that I went to and he kept forgetting the words and making awful sounds. Really, I can't imagine it getting any worse than this. I sat there cursing him, totally oblivious to the fact that his family and friends were sitting about three feet to the right of me. Once I realized that they were there and glaring at me, I started to talk louder. There are some things that people ought not touch.

[buttsex-chan]

I think people who aren't from the Caribbean area should be banned from the reggae genre.

That one Michigan J. Frog did. :)

mutineer... AMAZING. A-MAZ-ING. the horn solo was top notch. wow

[tomatoesandradiowires]

That was funny..but it was also pretty.. good..o_o
Did anyone else actually enjoy it like..musically?
I'm not sure what to believe any more.

[SlowCoreSadness]

There is nothing to believe in anymore.
Because music just doesn't get much better than what this man has done with Holland.

[Stormx]

Mutineer you RAWK!!!!!!


is your drummer playing a chair??

[tomatoesandradiowires]

Drum machine it looks like.

But equally your song about anime sucks. Different cultures, man. And I hope you're being sarcastic in your comments, too. I'm a big fan of The Mad Capsule Markets and you can't generalise that all japanese music is bad (although a lot of it is bullshit, like english music)

Also, if you enjoyed it musically, I don't know what to believe anymore. I dunno, maybe it's just one of those songs that no one can fuck up?

Also, if you were wondering what that big white block I was singing into was, it's my mic stand:

Yeah, everything about "Anime" is sarcastic. Especially the song. I just don't see how people couldn't pick up on it, so I decided to see how far it'd go. I guess it's like musical trolling.

[SlowCoreSadness]

Acid Mothers Temple is one of the best bands to ever walk the earth.
They're japanese.

Foam block mic stand ftw. lol.

I quite like Polysics. I don't quite know where this is going...

[Stormx]

mic stand rocks =) And I'm listening to Acid Mothers Temple now (from Terrastock Six)

[sellout250]

the mic stand in ingenious. The cover is amazing. I wish my band rocked as much as you two. We rock pretty close though..
